POS: 

My name, my name, my name is the Pasta 

Now I like, I like I like to plug the real thing 

So loose, so loose, so loose with the tap dance, 

The funk, the funk, funky funky stuff I bring 

My tribe, my tribe, my tribe is known as Native Tongues, 

Consists, consists, consists of Jungle, Quest and others 

Get played, get played, played a lot on radio 

And also, and also, and also by some foul brothers 

The Pease, the Pease the Pease Porridge never failed 

It kept, it kept us calm, our stylin' merry 

But late, but lately loonies acting real bold 

Can't sip in luxury my apple cranberry 

Girls watch, and watch, and watch I dance the big tut 

Our home, our home our homeboys has to plan tricks 

Don't real, don't real, don't realise the Native Tongue 

Is rollin' strong and we're startin' in the megamix

GOSSIP GLADIATORS: (Lashawna and Jenette) 

- Yo, Miss Thing! 

- Yo Merisa, what's up? 

- You heard what happened at the Donut Hill the other night? 

Yo I was there and those De La kids was fighting, yo they was wildin'. 

- Word man? 

- Word, the whole thing happened in front of my face, 

yo, they was on the dance floor, right, some kid stepped up to them 

and said something about hippies, then punks, and the chubby one, Plug Three? 

- Yeah. Plug Three, yeah I know him. 

- All right, Plug Three, all right, he walked up to this kid, hit him real quick, 

think he didn't when he did, and then them other kids the Jungle Brothers and Quest and, 

um, what's the other ones, the other ones? 

- The Violators. 

- The Violators, right, right, throwing chairs, 

and they didn't care who they was hitting, you think they wasn't? 

- Yeah. I know, I thought it was supposed to be about peace signs, things like that, you know... 

MASE: 

Question, and that's if only I can ask this question 

Can I? (Yes you can!) 

Why do people think just because we speak peace 

We can't blow no joints? 

(I-I-I don't know) 

GRANDMA MASE: (Squirrel) 

Mase, this is the ninth day I've reheated this porridge. You know it keeps me peacefully, no? 

MASE: 

Yeah, but my tolerance level has now peaked 

And now it's time for some heads to get flown 

DOVE: 

We bring, we bring, we bring, we bring the peace of course 

But pack a nine inside, inside my De La drawers 

A picture, picture, picture, picture painted pink 

Could turn to red, to red, to red in blooded quick 

But in a single file my Native Tongue is calm 

I rather, rather pass a brother palm to palm 

I kick, I kick, I kick a verse of unity 

And shack, and shackle steps to the beat, beat 

I click, I click the TV to the Simpsons 

And sip the Porridge deep into my system 

So mel, so mellow mode is my day mode 

Inside the studio or on a road 

The Swing, the Swingalow is the now step 

It's murder if you bet 'cause you're life's jep 

To praise, to praise the Soul is on a down drag 

It's false, because I'll spray you with the Black Flag

POS: 

Can't stand, can't stand, can't stand the pop music 

Brother, brother, brothers pop a lot of pow 

Don't watch, don't watch, don't watch a lot of basketball 

Don't und, don't understand the act of being fouled 

Hey D, hey D, hey DJ set the record up 

It's time, it's time, it's time to tame the annoying pups 

Throw on the Touching Fingers serenade 

So we can throw our lemonade 

In their face and kick their little butts 

FIGHT COMMENTATORS: (Squirrel and Mikey Roads) 

- And off, and Mase is the first to throw a punch 

and he connects lovely to the ribcage. Wouldn't you say so Squirrel? 

- Indeed, indeed, I waould say he showed a lot of formulate combination, 

but look at the hoodlum trying to escape. 

- Yeah, it seems that that particular hoodlum showed great form in trying to escape, 

but he, ah, just got his ass busted.

DOVE: 

People wanna get ragged with the reruns 

Me not, me not, me not scared to trudge a bit 

They can't, they can't, they can't get close to none 

I tap, I tap, I tap a dance war skit 

The por, the por, the Porridge got crazy cold 

We won't, we won't eat until the heads are flown 

Take advantage to a cool one's peaceful ways 

But when, but when we fly that head all the people say 

THE FROG: (Lisle Leete) 

Here in Frogland, we always eat our Porridge, 'cause it keeps us frogs real peaceful like. 

JABIB: (Jarobi) 

In my land, my people adore Porridge. 

And I don't understand why De La Soul is so violent, and we are so peaceful, 

we sit by the camp fire and listen to our rituals, and they are so violent. I don't understand, 

I don't understand.
